The Power of Music: Black Feminism and the Liberating Impact of Black Female Music

I have always been an avid lover of music. Music has been the vehicle in which I have discovered who I am as a person, and along with that, I have discovered my place in this thing called feminism. Without music I would still be a very lost little black girl who in essence wanted to change herself. Because of my love for music and the importance music holds in my life, I have decided to center my capstone around Black Female Artists. Mainly because these are the artists who showed me that's ok to be black, that it's great, even. These artists showed me what it meant to hold power in myself and I'm super excited to create an entire capstone dedicated to them. This exhibit will analyze the works of these Black Female Artists and it will exemplify the ways in which their works have influenced my personal feminist identity.
